Getting a new MP3 player.

Start getting angry Father_Mike! Its fun! GGGGGARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH HORMONESSSSSSSS

[omg_lemurs]

Just because two fegs are ganging up on me doesn't mean I need help. What are they saying besides calling me a fish and a cunt? How is that supposed to be hurtful or even creative or funny?

Shit.

Join in if you like.

For a little backstory. My hostility toward Saint Cornhole goes back to other forums where he was taken to stalk trolling me before he was ran off the boards for being a tremendous taco.

How do you never use a question mark, period, or capitalize the first letter of any of your sentences? Critiquing someones spelling (especially when you have questionable spelling and grammar yourself) is usually a last ditch effort to strike back when you don't have an argument.

[Van Cruncheon]

you are also bad at meta

[Vizzys]

oh dear, lemurs fell into a trap

[Van Cruncheon]

lemurs is dumb that way; teens are bad at irony

[omg_lemurs]

You never answered my question.

[Van Cruncheon]

do i need to, or can you just do a search on my name here and get the joke yourself

[omg_lemurs]

I'm not going to do a search to get some asinine in-joke. You've taken so much time already you might as well explain it to me.

[omg_lemurs]

Are you boycotting the period, the question mark, and the shift key?

[omg_lemurs]

And while we're asking questions. Why am I arguing with myself?

[Van Cruncheon]

nope. let's get back to discussing why a) you're too stupid to get an ipod; and b) why you really overextend your sorely limited faculties in flamewars when you'd be much better off just trying to get along ala the other 99% of the forum that isn't me and corny

[Madrun Badrun]

we can see your not boycotting the period lemurs.

I made a funny

[Van Cruncheon]

okay, i lol'd

[omg_lemurs]

You're starting the flame wars but when I call you on your bullshit you want to move on. I don't want an iPod. Don't like it? Don't bother continuing to suggest it or at least try to sell me on the idea rather than insult me for my preference. I really hope folks can see you're the one being the douche bag here. You're the one dragging this shit out.

[bagofeyes]

Nah, we like Drinky

[Van Cruncheon]

indeed i am the one dragging it out -- i'm also the one enjoying myself

ask the doctor to put a little FUN in the ol' feeding tube and maybe we can roll on; i don't like the needy tbs-esque twist this one-sided firefight has taken


buy an ipod and rediscover joy

[omg_lemurs]

I'll concede enough to ask you this: Why should I buy an iPod?

[Van Cruncheon]

why shouldn't you? it's well-designed, well-supported, and well-manufactured. its only downside for some folks -- and i'll leave the moral assessment to the readers -- is that pirating mp3s, while not prevented, isn't actively encouraged by the platform. an mp3 player is an mp3 player, and its primary function is primarily served by reliability and convenience, which is exactly what the ipod continues to do best.

[omg_lemurs]

And if I find iTunes and the inability to drag and drop files onto and OFF of the player inconvenient? Maybe I'm looking for something that does more than just play MP3s?

[Van Cruncheon]

why would you drop them OFF the player?

[Flannel Boy]

Oh
My
God
LEMURS

[omg_lemurs]

why would you drop them OFF the player?

Not just MP3s. Text files, video files, files I RECORD ON THE PLAYER ITSELF.

I drag stuff off of my player ALL THE TIME.

[Van Cruncheon]

whoa hey thumb drives

[omg_lemurs]

whoa hey I don't want a thumb drive. I want an MP3 player that doesn't force me into artificial restraints.

[Van Cruncheon]

last i checked, an "mp3 player" wasn't trying to be a thumb drive or a home recording studio -- and the ones that do are usually korean-made suck. buy an mp3 player for mp3 playback. buy a thumb drive for file transfer. buy a mac for home studio work.

[omg_lemurs]

What other players have you owned besides iPod?

[Van Cruncheon]

iRiver and a Zen. Both had cumbersome, buggy software and kludgy interfaces. Ironically, I have no experience with a Zune.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

why would you drop them OFF the player?

Not just MP3s. Text files, video files, files I RECORD ON THE PLAYER ITSELF.

You can set up a portion of your iPod to use as a portable HDD that can store any kind of data JUST SAYIN NOT SPRAYIN

[omg_lemurs]

It doesn't do you much good if you can't easily drag and drop it back onto any desktop without software.

[omg_lemurs]

iRiver and a Zen. Both had cumbersome, buggy software and kludgy interfaces. Ironically, I have no experience with a Zune.

I don't like Zen, but what model iRiver did you have?

I'll also go on record as saying that I prefer the file tree system.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

It doesn't do you much good if you can't easily drag and drop it back onto any desktop without software.

You can drag and drop data from the data HDD partition you set up just fine. You just can't drag and drop MP3s from the music partition. Which makes sense.

[Van Cruncheon]

yup, it appears on the PC like any other sort of external media device. drag-and-drop FILES to your heart's content.

[bluemax]

I use my iPod as a portable HDD. Best way for transferring a dvd or cd image around if needs be.

[Saint Cornelius]

If your shit is tagged properly, like mine is - you can totally search through your music folder on the iPod and get songs off of there. If you're not a hysterical twat, I mean

[Cheebs]

All I want out of a mp3 player is something I can put songs onto and then listen to them on. iPods do that so I use one.

Nothing else matters, nor should anything else fucking matter to anyone else for that matter.

[Cheebs]

What a shit storm of what could have been a simple discussion 

she wasn't looking for a discussion. Just an excuse to bash things that are mainstream to seem cool.

[Vizzys]

lol morons

Hey, you stupid fuck. I'm the one who started the thread saying I didn't want an iPod. I posted the two MP3 players that I was looking into and twats come into my thread and tell me to get an iPod. I said I didn't want one. I was looking for a "get the D2 or X5 or (other player besides iPod)".

Who's looking for an argument when they purposefully come into my topic and troll my shit. I said I didn't want a fucking iPod so why keep suggesting it to me? Fucking asshole.

[Cheebs]

You are one of only 10 people who don't use a iPod for their mp3 player in this entire world, what did you expect?

[Vizzys]

I expect my mp3 player to use drag and drop not have to install itunes on any computer I grab music from. Ipods are overpriced and some of the flash based ones dont even come with a fucking screen. I can get a better player with more features for less and not have drm bullshit. Ipods therfore are overrated.

lolz teenager making a statement, idiots.

[BobbyRobby]

Lemurs and Viz seem to have some pretty valid complaints.  Things that have bothered me as an iPod owner.  Why do you care if they do research to get a product that suits their needs?

You guys are being pretty obnoxious, "Buy an iPod," "Why do you care?," "Don't be poor."

[omg_lemurs]

Not to mention the fact that the iAudio X5 when it first came out was nearly $400 because of how technologically superior it was/is. Being poor? Bullshit. People who like the players I like are the kinds of people who liked minidisk recorders.

iPod doesn't come with a built in radio when it could be easily done, but the attachment costs something like $30-50.

35 hour long battery.
Built in FM tuner.
Build in video.
Microphone Recording
Line In Recording
Alarm (Set a time, player turns on automatically and records selection of line in or radio. People use this to do things like record radio shows like Howard Stern on Sirius. It's very useful.)
USB On the Go
5 Band EQ and various enhancement settings. Considered to be at or near the top of the food chain when it comes to sound quality.
Picture Viewer and Text Viewer (Useless to me)
MP3, OGG, WMA, WAV files, and FLAC
USB Storage
M3U (I like this. If you organize your shit you should be fine.)
Bookmarking (Rather than fast forward through a 5 hour long recorded radio show to get to the point where you left off you book mark it and listen later from whatever point)
Windows, Mac, and Linux. I don't know if iPod is Linux compatible

The player was released several months before the iPod Video. I'd say the player was well ahead of it's time and no other HDD DAP (besides various PMPs) have matched it in terms of features.

[Itch]

LOL. Sure are lots of bitter pussies up in here.

[Vizzys]

lol
